Although the staff at the Wanganui branch of NZCU Baywide have been busy settling into their new premises in Guyton St this week, they have found time to raise $1215 for their Relay for Life effort this weekend.
Manager Lynda Matoe, with co-workers Melissa Smith, Bronwyn Crow and Trudie Geerkens, will be walking in the event at Cooks Gardens from noon tomorrow until midday on Sunday.
"We have roped in various husbands and children to be part of the team as well, so we won't be doing it all on our own," said Ms Matoe of the challenge.
She said the team was inspired to join the relay by a friend who was fighting cancer.
The team are prepared for any weather with their distinctive orange umbrellas that will keep sun or rain at bay as they join hundreds of others for the weekend's marathon Cancer Society fundraiser.
